THE GOVERNESS.

I went to live with my aunt, Leonora
Seymour, when my father died. That
was half a dozen years ago, but my
trouble seems as fresh now as it did then.
My father married a simple country
girl, but a more beautiful woman Inever
saw. Father belonged to proud race
of people, old as the Conqueror, and
reaching back to the Plantagnets. When
he brought my mother home to Elsmers
Hall, Aunt Seymour met herso haughtily,
and led her such life, that my father
soon took her away to Italy There she
died two years after | was born.
Father and. 1 were all in all to each
other He was my companion, guide,
teacher, and playmate. I was only 10

der mercies of my aunt.

drudge, so she determined should be
governess. l had an advertisement in
serted in the paper, and in about week
an answer appeared in the person of
Harry Englefeld He was we'll pleased
with me- and week later was installed
in his luxurious home on the coast of
Wales. a.. $500 4
1t was pleasant place. From my win
dow I could see the white caps of the
ocean and the bright waves glancing in
the sunshine like diamonds. l was hap
pier than l had been since poor papa
died. 5tt
Mr.. Englefield was kind, pleasant
man. about IS years of age, and well
preserved. My pupils were his two
daughters, May and Kate, aged respec-
lively Is and IL years. Mr.. Englefeld
was widower, his wife having been
dead three years. commenced my
duties at once. My pupils loved me,
and we got on pleasantly. l began to
think my lines were cast in pleasant
places, but an enemy was at hand in
the person of Mr.. Englefeld's cousin
and housekeeper, Helen Leroy.
She was about 81 years of age, hand
some and imperious as queen-a dead
ly enemy to those whom she hated. She
treated me well, but still a feeling of
dislike was plainly visible. My pupils
made wonderful progress, and ! was
happy. saw very little OF Mr. Engie-
field.
One morning after had been there
about three weeks he came into the
school room, saying he had come 'to see
what progress the children were max
ing" He spent half hour or more
with us. and caught myself wondering
often when he would come again.

Keep Your Faces TO the Light.

1nere's a ringing glorious measure
hl the march OF life, my brothers;
Il we listen we may hear it all day long,
With an undertone of triumph
No discordance wholly smothers,
And this is the cheerful burden of the song:
Forward! Keep the column moving!
Perfect rest shall be our guerdon
When our missions are fulfhed-our labors
done;
Duty's path lies plain before us,
Whatso'er our task and burden,
Ii we brayely set our faces to the sun.
Disappointment may oertake us,
Losses, griefs and grim surprises
May assault us in the weary way we go;
Look not back but onward, ever,
Lo! the goal before us rises,
And the valley of the shadow lies below!
With hand to help the fallen,
Where the rugged sleeps delay us,
Though the reddening SUBMITS warn us of
the night,
We shall conquer all the evils
That assail us and betray u.s.
While we keep our faces bravely to the
light!
STEADY! Keep the ranks in motioni
Tho we only be retrieving
The disasters and mistakes of yesterday;
There is shame in dull inaction,
There is glory in achieving,
If I'VE takefone step on the upward wayl
Day by day the distance dwindles,
Foot by foot the sleeps surrender,
And we dread no more the barriers over
past;
While we breathe the airs serener,
And our eyes behold the splendor
OF the gates where we shall enter in at last {;
Wayside thorns may rend and goad us,
Driving mist and cloud may blind us,
As we struggle up the last stlpendous
height;
But remember, and take courage,
All LIES shadows lie behind us
While we keep our faces bravely. to the
lightm

A Musical Mendicant.

The best and most widely known street
musician in New York is Frenchman.
His history has pathetic interest Years
ago he was the principal tenor in the
finest opera troup that then delighted
Paris He married and all the world
went we'll with him. Suddenly his eye
sight began to fail; when he went to an
oculist he learned the terrible truth that
he was doomed to perpetual blindness.
When he was no longer able to read the
notes Of music he lost his position in the
opera troup. With his wife, whom he
had married in the days Of his prosperity,
he came to America. Starvation stared
him in the face, and he curbed his pride
to the extent Of going out on the street
at singing. lie has a powerful voice,
aud sings the 'eMarscillaisep in such
stirring manner that the most careless
pedestrian cannot help stopping to listen
to him, and every Frenchman throws up
his hat and goes wild with enthusiasm.

panies him, and the blind Frenchman

NO. as.
Persian Jewellers.

The goldsmiths' and jewellers shops
in Persia present little attraction to the
eye. Perhaps there Is small glass case
containing q few of the less costly OBJ
iects, but the owners are not wealthy
men and keep little or no stock, merely
working to order The artifcer, with
his one or two grimy journeym9n and
perhaps q couple of apprentices, may be
seen hard at work in the open air from
morning till night There they sit in
the little brick archway, with a tiny
furnace of live charcoal, at which the
Youngest apprentice is seen blowing with
primitive bellows made of goat skin.
Their tools are few and rough; but their
work is invariably original With the
silyersmith il is another affair. So COM
mon is the use of silver that it is hardly
looked upon as precious metal. Electro
plating Is not unknown; but it finds
no favor in Persian eyes, coming under
the head Of babel or sham. The silver
smiths bazaar in all the great Persian
cities is a sight to see In the east every
trade has its own special quarter. There
is the shoemakers' bazaar, the copper
smiths and the silversmiths. There the
rival artisans work side by side, and the
result is sort of perpetual competitive
exhibition, Pipe heads an endless va
riety, coffee pots, trays bowls, basins,
ewers and bottles here stand in glitter
ing array and bewildering variety.
There is no middleman the maker is tho
vender, and stands or falls by his own
work Woe be to the wretehed silver
smith who adulterates or alloys. There
is no need of hall marks when the
darogah, or police master, is ever on the
alert to apply the bastinado to the feet
of the swindler.
The Perslans are particularly clever in
both incised and chased work, and in
repousse work of the highest class The
incised work resembles the best of the
Scinde work, with which the recent In
dian exhibition has made most of us fa-
miliar. As for chased work, the Persian
is inimitable. Every artisan is prepared
to produce scroll work and tracery strik-
ingly original. Many ragged work.
man can turn out representation Of men
and animals in motion, wonderful little
groups, battle scenes hunting scenes, and
representations of birds, fruits, foliage
and flowers. Engraving upon metal, in
fact, is carried in Persia to its highest
perfection. Pipe heads, water bottles,
basins, ewers and even spittoons are
often made of silver and sometimes
of gold; horse furniture and stirrups,
trays, dishes, sword hilt and scabbards,
dagger and knife handles, boxes and mir
row frames, drinking cups and gohlets,
as well as tea urns and services, are or
dinarily made of the precious metals.
Every villdger bus his silver mounted
pistol; the stock Of his gun is often orna-
mented with silver plates. No lady,
however poor, would think of wearing
aught but ornaments Of the purcst gold.
Silver ornaments are only worn by the
poor, the women Of the wandering tribes
and by negresses. Coral, too, being out
of fashion, is relegatcd to slaves

The Interstate Commerce Act.

1t is reported that the Interstate Commits
Sloners have, after careful investigation and
mature deliberation of the matter. decided
to suspend the fourth section of the Inter
state Commerce Act-the long and short
haul clause-until the meeting of Congress,
in December next when they will recon-
mend its repeal. 1t is to be hoped that this
report is grounded in truth. The bill was
conceived by an arrant demagogue and was
enacted into law by demagogues. and in
giving it his official sanction, President
Cleveland made the greatest mistake of his
administration. During the short time
that the provisions of the fourth section of
this Act were strictly enforced, it was de-
monstrated beyond the possibility of a
doubt that to continue it in operation for
any extended period would result in the
destruction of nearly every Pacific Coast
industry; throw thousands of poor wage
workers out of employment, and fill our
almshouses and other charitable institu-
tons with helpless women and starving
children. 1t is true that few such men as
Garrett, the brass-founder, and Scott, of the
Union Iron Works, strongly favor its reten-
ton and strict enforcement; but they are
actuated to this by mercenary motives-for
its enforcement would shut out competition
from the East, and permit them to charge
exorbitant prices for their manufactures.
But the wool-growers, the wine-growers,
the fruit raiser, the fruit Gamers, and all
Others who are forced to seek q market in
the East for their productions, demand its
repeal; and unless it is repealed, they will
be compelled to sacrifice the labor of years,
and begin life anew. The interstate COM
merce law is fraud, a delusion and a
snare, and the best interests of the whole
country demand its speedy repeal.-!S. f.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
There's Nothing Like Success.


The San Francisco Chronicle of yesterday
had the following reference to some of the
players OF the Alta nine. Its remark that
1.-THE ball-player should remember that the
public is very exacting. To-day it NAV
shower applause upon him and week
hence drive him from the diamond with
the force OF its denunciations and hostil-
lty," is a whole chapter of admonition.
however, of the " eternal vigilance" order !:
Newbert plays short like a veteran. If
he has superior in that position among
the players of the California League, who
is it?
Powers makes great Businessmen, and
IS mead and shoulders above any one the
Atlas ever played in that position.
Mullee did not prove the pie" the Hay
erlys anticipated. Only six scattering hits
by such heavy batters is something to be
proud Of
The Hayerlys manager has been unable
to decide who is responsible for their I'm
expected defeat.
Mullee and Powers seem to have an army
OF friends, If the applause bestowed upon
them is any criterion
IL seems strange what two new men can
do for nine. Look what Mullee and
Powers have done for the Atlas The Pr
ioneers mad no use for them, still they have
elevated the Atlas from the weakest sister
IN the flock to one of the most formidable.
Mullee and Powers are the two hardest
workers on the diamond. They are all en-
ergy and never miss chance. They have
certainly become tower of strength to the
Atlas.
Three straight victories after four con-
secutive defeats shows what new life in a
club will do and reflects great praise on
the Atlas new manager, Wilbur George.
The Atlas have hung their banner ON the
outer wall and defy all corners to tear it
down.
Baseball is oftentimes mighty onsartin,"
and too much confidence loses MANY a
game. Yesterdays game is an instance.

Governor Bartlett passed through town
en- route for Highland Springs Tuesday.
While here the Governor walked about
town and expressed himself as highly
pleased with the appearance of things. He
stated further that he would like very
much to have home here. An amusing
incident occurred in connection with the
Governors visit that we cannot refrain
from telling as it was tolG to u.s. In walk
ing about town the Governor casually stop
ped in one of our stores, and seating him
self was about to make himself at home.

too much for our enterprising citizen, and
the following conversation ensued:
